澳大利亚联邦警察9月10日通报,2025-26年度该国收到100,194份儿童网络性虐待举报,同比增长21%,平均每天约275份1。这些举报主要来自美国国家失踪与被剥削儿童中心,其中Facebook、Instagram、TikTok、WhatsApp和谷歌五家科技公司贡献了超四分之三的举报1。据悉,2025年谷歌向该中心提交1,461,378份举报,Facebook提交4,907,710份1。
澳大利亚政府发布了数字关怀法案草案,旨在为平台施加在线安全责任1。然而分析指出,该法案若以现有形式通过,存在重大缺陷:将无法要求平台主动检测在线伤害,也无法强制平台向澳大利亚相关部门报告发现的问题1。
澳大利亚现行举报法《刑法》第474.25条制定于2004年,仅适用于澳大利亚互联网服务商,且不要求主动检测1。相比之下,美国已实施超过20年的强制举报制度,加拿大自2011年、巴西自2026年3月、英国自2026年4月7日也相继建立了类似要求1。Meta在2023年12月为Facebook Messenger默认启用端到端加密后,该平台的举报数大幅下滑,从2023年的1,780万份降至2024年的860万份,再到2025年的490万份1。
为弥补法案漏洞,专家建议澳大利亚做出三项关键修改:要求平台主动检测伤害内容;强制平台向澳大利亚机构报告检测到的儿童性虐待;指定国内专门的机构接收这些举报1。
Australian Federal Police reported receiving 100,194 notifications of child sexual exploitation online during the 2025-26 financial year, representing a 21 percent increase from the previous period 1. This surge prompted the Australian government to release a long-anticipated draft digital duty of care bill aimed at imposing safety obligations on technology platforms 1. However, critics argue the legislation in its current form contains significant gaps that would prevent platforms from being required to proactively detect online harms or report findings to Australian authorities 1.
The scale of the problem underscores the urgency of effective regulation. Most reports originate from the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, with five major technology companies—Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Google—collectively accounting for more than three-quarters of all notifications 1. Google submitted 1,461,378 reports to U.S. authorities in 2025, while Facebook provided 4,907,710 1. Meta's decision to enable end-to-end encryption by default on Facebook Messenger in December 2023 has substantially reduced reporting from that platform, with notifications declining from 17.8 million in 2023 to 8.6 million in 2024 and further to 4.9 million in 2025 1.
Australia's existing reporting obligation, codified in the Criminal Code section 474.25 and enacted in 2004, applies only to Australian internet service providers and does not mandate proactive detection of harms 1. Other jurisdictions have already established mandatory reporting frameworks: the United States has required such notifications for over two decades, Canada since 2011, Brazil beginning March 2026, and the United Kingdom from April 7, 2026 1. To address these deficiencies, experts have proposed three essential amendments to the draft bill: requiring platforms to actively detect harms, mandating reports to Australian institutions when child sexual abuse is identified, and establishing a designated domestic agency to receive such notifications 1.
